Alternative tittle: Problem children are coming from another world, aren't they?

Original creator (light novel) : Taro Tatsunoko
Original Character Designer : Yū AmanoPlot summary : The story follows Izayoi Sakamaki, a boy bored with the entire world. One day, an envelope arrives for him. The moment Izayoi opens the envelope, he is transported to an alternate world. There, he discovers that two other "problem children" were transported by envelopes as well — a taciturn girl named Yō Kasukabe with a cat, and a beautiful yet haughty girl named Asuka Kudō. A girl named Black Rabbit (Kuro Usagi) summoned the three to the community "No Name" to overthrow the devil.

Note : Taro Tatsunoko launched the light novel series with illustrator Yū Amano in April of 2011, and Kadokawa's Sneaker Bunko imprint has published five main volumes and three short story collections so far. Rio Nanamomo is launching the official manga adaptation of the story in the same September issue of Comp Ace, while Anri Sakano is launching the spinoff manga in the September issue of Fujimi Shobo's Age Premium magazine on August 9.

Finally, a thread for this great novel. Allow me the honor of being the first to make a post. I'll kick it off with what everybody wants, spoilers galore.

Spoiler:

Based on some spoilers from BT Forum, the main character, Sakamaki Izayoi, is a dude that bored to death with his simple, plain life. He is ridiculously strong, even much stronger than his harem. He have special ability to negate and making the abilities of his enemies into his, enabling him to counter even the most powerful magic and wins against divine beings. As for his harem:
1) An Ojou-sama that coming from war and just like MC, bored to hell with his life. She has the ability to manipulate with commands. However, as she hopes to seek true friends, she intends to give up on this powerful "Gift", twisting it to be a "Gift to manipulate Gifts", instead of people. Her arrogance and pride refuses her incapability to manipulate most Gifts(as she is not as talented in that field currently). In vol 2, she gets a golem, and a small little pixie friend with the ability "Voyage", to forge new paths/destinies?
2) A quiet and friendly girl but troublesome and as annoying as those two, she ability to speak and make friends with animals etc. Upon success, she too can borrow abilities of these animals. Due to this ability, her friends in her world are all animals, and she would like to have some human friends. Befriended a Griffon, thus learnt to walk on air. Revealed that it should be an artistic sculpture her father made that granted her the ability.
3) The bunny girl with pink (blue?) hair, you can consider her as Host/Referee in Miniature Garden. Despite her high status, as she chose to remain in the currently dying community, and due to a Demon King rampaging and destroying the community, they lost all their competent players/fighters. They even lost their most important flag and name, becoming a "Nameless" community with just young children. Black Rabbit thus have to earn a living for the community, working as referee despite her great name and might. Even so, they seek to regain their former glory, and thus had no choice but to summon new players/warriors, putting them to the test. The invitation? A letter saying,
Informing troubled guys and girls with special gifts:
If you so wish to test your gift,
may you give up your family, friends, fortune, and everything in the world,
and join us at "Miniature Garden"
What would you say to such an invitation?

Spoiler for For more details about why the MC is freakingly powerful!:

Yeah Izayoi is freakingly powerful and at the same time he is very knowledgeable especially in mythology aspects( Thanks to the woman who raised him in the past and kept travelling around the world with him. Ny the way she came from the Black Rabbit world but for some reason she got stuck at human world. The detail is complicated so i will leave it to some1 else.). Remeber when he first acquired the letter from black rabbit? It seems that he didnt plan to open it right away because he was hesistate. But after a a powerful demon came to his house and got defeated by Izayoi, he had decided to go.( By the way the demon appeared to be friend with the woman who raised Izayoi and he seemed to be one of the most powerful demons that were said to be able to rival the gods! The demon seemed to know Izayoi ability as he stated that his power is enough to crush the gods and demons!!!)

This woman your talking about. Could it have been the blonde-haired woman in the flashback of the anime when Izayoi was fighting the water god?

You are obviously very knowledgeable about the novel. Can you tell us what Izayoi's weaknesses are? A lot of people are complaining how hax his ability is. Is there any way to counter it?

BTW, the synopsis said that the three were summoned to defeat the Devil King, but he hasn't been mentioned. Can you explain more about him?

You dont, well he does have powers enough to challenge Gods, and he lives in the modern world, the only place where he could probably use his powers is in wars. And with his mother missing and with no way to now his realtionship with his brothers, who knows.

Seriously! i knew he had not outright killed her, but wow. I guess she really is a god for her to have human form. She did have a female voice, more like genderless, they were trying to go for something like a collection of voices but it did tend a little to the female spectrum I say I think Im not too sure
